>Exercise 1 | Asset Creation
As the first stage of this exercise we are asked to make a character that
we're going to animate later on in Adobe Animate.
Ideation
Before looking for inspiration, I already know that I want to make derpy
and dumb-looking characters. I want to make their face simple but show
subtle expressions
I browsed through pinterest and found some characters that uses food,
fruits, and veggies which I found cute, so I tried making characters out of
food

Sketch #1
|
I decided to make a character using bakchoy as the body and after
consulting with Mr. Shamsul, he said it was too basic and I needed to make
the character to do a certain activity.
After more consulting me and Mr Shamsul agreed that we can make the bakchoy
wet and that he will blow dry his leaves later as a part of the
animation.
Then I start making the character in Adobe
Animate.
After a few trials, I found it hard to do the overlapping leaves and
I quickly realized how it's gonna be hard when I want to animate
it.
So I tried to use another sketch I have in Sketch#1 which is the cooking
character.
But I wasn't sure how to do the final movement for the 3rd exercise, so I
ended up not using this character.
After a few sketching and browsing for inspiration, I found photos of
people riding skateboards and thought it would be fun to animate
it.

Sketch #2
|
I had a vision on how to animate it and then I moved to Adobe Animate to
make the final asset.
Adobe Animate
I wasn't sure on how to make the assets and how to separate the layers to
make it easier to animate later. So I decided to separate everything
first.
After making the character, I add a simple background to make it feel
more complete.

>Exercise 2 | The Motion - Idle
For the idle animation, I wasn't sure how much movement I had to make, so
after consultation Mr. Shamsul suggest that I can make the character to
move its feet and try to push the skateboard.
For the movements such as the legs, arms and ears, I mostly use rotation
and changing the anchor points before it.
And for the skateboard and its wheels, I tilt it and slightly move every
after few frames to make it look like its moving.
I had several trials to make the straps and its clothes to make it look
like it's moving. I mainly break it down and tried to change its shape and
use Shape Tween at the end to make it smooth. However it didn't work even
after several trials. So I decided to save it for the last
exercise.
For the background I extent the road and clouds to make it to look like a
seamless loop. And for the hills on the back, I made a long frame and cut
the middle and put it infront to make it loop as well.
After that I just move everything from the back to the front of the frame
and use Classic Tween.
In total I have 120 frames or 3 seconds long animation.
